Chapter 90 Co-optation
In the camp chamber, after the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they began to get to the point.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to make a detour, so he said straightforwardly: "Everyone is talented, rare and like-minded, and has a heart of love for the people. I am not talented, I want to invite you and the camp residents to join Shanhai Town and seek common development, I don't know what Leader Ge wants? ”
"The adults are kind, and we naturally understand it. It's just a merger, and it's not trivial. The old man took the liberty of asking, if we agree to join Shanhai Town, what kind of treatment can we get? It was Xu Lao who took the lead in questioning.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "Elder Xu doesn't ask, I have to explain it to you clearly." A month ago, Shanhai Town had completed its privatization. Every resident who joins the territory has prepared a basic benefit for him. The basic benefits consisted of 100 units of grain, 20 units of meat, a piece of fur, a set of ordinary linen clothes, and 20 silver coins, which were enough to sustain the inhabitants for two or three months. ”
"The residents of the camp can choose their own jobs according to their own strengths. If he is willing to farm, the territory allocates farmland to him and distributes farm tools free of charge. If you are willing to fish, you can rent a fishing boat and go to sea to fish. Territory lumberyards, quarries, and quarries are readily available for those who are willing to work. In addition, the territory is also home to a variety of workshops, factories and shops, all of which require talent. Take a step back, even if you don't have any skills, you can still find a job on the construction site. ”
Therefore, as long as you join Shanhai Town, you will not have to worry about finding a job to support yourself. On the contrary, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is very natural to live a small life with housing and food. As for all of you here, the government affairs department and the military system of Shanhai Town welcome you to join us at any time. ”
Ge Hongliang and Xu Zhenchang's eyes lit up, and they were infected by the scene described by Ouyang Shuo, and their expressions were moved. If so, it would be much better than being confined to this humble camp.
As a military general, Sun Tengjiao was unmoved, and said loudly: "The last general has something to ask!" ”
"General, please speak!" Ouyang Shuo said with a smile. He had already seen that among the three of them, Ge Hongliang sang with a red face, Xu Zhenchang and Sun Tengjiao sang with a white face. Some of the questions that Ge Hongliang asked because of his identity were all raised by these two people.
"If we join Shanhai Town, what will the adults do with the current army in the camp?" Sun Tengjiao directly asked the most sensitive issue of army reorganization.
"I wonder what the current state of the camp army is?" Ouyang Shuo didn't rush to answer, but asked rhetorically.
Sun Tengjiao nodded, feeling Ouyang Shuo's sincerity. If Ouyang Shuo didn't ask anything, he would talk about it, but he wouldn't believe it. "The camp consisted of a hundred and fifty troops, and because of the lack of horses, it was dominated by infantry. But they are all skilled in bows and horses, and as long as they are paired with war horses, they are qualified cavalrymen. ”
For the troops he trained, Sun Tengjiao was extremely confident. Lin Yi, who was sitting opposite, pouted quietly, obviously not believing it.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "General's department, I am naturally convinced." In this way, how about I give you the establishment of a cavalry squadron, and the remaining fifty people will be transferred to the reserve, and then to active duty when the time is right? ”
The reserve is just a euphemism for Ouyang Shuo, and Shanhai Town has not established a reserve system at all. Sun Tengjiao also knew that Ouyang Shuo's subtext was to reorganize the 150-strong troops into a squadron, and all the rest would be eliminated.
Considering the wounded in the troops and some members whose physical fitness had deteriorated due to malnutrition, a hundred people barely got through. Based on this, Sun Tengjiao did not fight again, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
After Ouyang Shuo answered the questions of the two, he turned his head to look at Ge Hongliang, waiting for him to make a statement.
Ge Hongliang exchanged glances with Xu Lao and Sun Tengjiao, and said with a smile: "The fact that the adults are here shows their sincerity." We are waiting in the wilderness, and we can't have food and clothing, but we are dying. On behalf of the 1,500 residents of the camp, Ge thanked the adults for their help. ”
"Okay, with your help, it's like a tiger with wings." Ouyang Shuo said with a laugh.
After the two sides reached a consensus, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the attributes of Ge Hongliang and the others.

Ge Hongliang and the three of them are all talents urgently needed in Shanhai Town, and Ouyang Shuo is extremely satisfied. The movement of refugee camps is not a trivial matter and requires a lot of preparation. These things are naturally up to Ge Hongliang to worry about.
It was getting late, Ouyang Shuo didn't stop in the refugee camp any longer, left the three dogs in the center to coordinate, and led the cavalry squadron back to Shanhai Town.
Joining 1,500 people at a time, Shanhai Town also needs to prepare early. Fortunately, the current Shanhai Town is no longer the Shanhai Village it used to be, and the material reserves are sufficient, and the residence of this group of people can be built quickly. In addition, Ouyang Shuo plans to replenish 400 of them to Lushui Village and upgrade it to a first-class township.
In the early morning of 15 March, the refugee camp officially set off and moved into Shanhai Town. Ouyang Shuo specially arranged a cavalry squadron to guard their safety along the road.
At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo led the chief officials of various departments and offices in Shanhai Town to greet Ge Hongliang and his party in front of the north gate of Shanhai Town. The construction of the city wall and the ancillary facilities has been completed.
As the main gate of Shanhai Town, directly above the north gate is a city tower made of blue bricks, which is magnificent. Inside the castle tower, there are all kinds of living facilities, in addition to water and dry food and other daily necessities, there are also a large number of war materials such as fire oil and rolling wood. The tower is resident with a squad of infantry, paired with two crossbowmen.
In front of the castle tower, the flag of the lord of Shanhai Town is planted. The lord flag was designed by Ouyang Shuo himself, the blue sea level was divided into two by the golden section point, and above the sea was a towering volcano, the scorching sun erupted, and a golden dragon circled along the volcano, noble and fierce.
The main door hole below the city tower is six meters wide and eight meters high, and the top of the door hole is engraved with two seal body Yang characters of "mountain and sea". The two wooden gates, both wrapped in thick iron sheets and inlaid with dense fine iron barbs, look like a monster. There is a secondary doorway on each side of the main doorway, which is four meters wide and five meters high. In general, the main openings are closed, and only the secondary openings on both sides are passable.
Not far from the second door hole, there are two Tibetan caves respectively. The hole is divided into two layers, the upper layer is provided with six arrow holes, the lower layer is provided with five arrow holes, each arrow hole is built with an arc top bunker, the arrow hole is oblique, can be opened and closed. There is a passage in the hole, there are arrow holes on three sides, the front shooting hole is aimed at the moat, it is convenient to shoot the enemy who climbs the city, and there are battlements on the hole, which is integrated with the city wall, so as to ensure the safety of the hidden soldier cave.
Directly in front of the city gate, a giant wooden suspension bridge spans an eight-meter-wide moat to the opposite bank. Because the moat was still one meter away from the city walls, the entire suspension bridge was six meters wide and nine meters long, and the suspension bridge could be pulled up or lowered by means of pulleys installed above the walls. Except in times of war, drawbridges are generally in a state of restlessness. Of course, in order to ensure that the drawbridge can be pulled up smoothly in the event of war, the drawbridge is pulled up every other week for routine maintenance.
The moat was not yet completed, and the river was not filled except for the groundwater that had leaked due to excavation, but only a shallow layer had been laid on the bottom of the river.
The group of refugees in the camp was stunned when they saw such a majestic city wall in front of them. Compared to this city wall, the camp where I used to live was simply a primitive tribe. Protected by such a sturdy wall, they immediately felt at ease, and the slightest dissatisfaction caused by the sudden migration order immediately vanished. The leader really thinks about us, and the days of suffering are finally coming to an end.
Ge Hongliang was also a little surprised, it's not that he hadn't seen such a tall city wall, in fact, compared with the city wall of the royal city, the city wall in front of him was nothing but a big thing.
What he was really surprised about was that Shanhai Town had the ability to build such a strong wall in the wilderness at the township stage, which was very unusual. This shows how far-reaching the strategic vision of the lord is.
